    I like it. Reasonable contract for an effective reliever. Our bullpen is shaping up to be quietly solid next year.

    DBacks trade Matt Davidson to the White Sox for Addison Reed.

    Yankees are insistent they will not trade Gardner; said the point is to have him and Ellsbury man 2/3 of the outfield and bat next to each other. I'd love to grab him in FA, though. And with Valbuena, Lake, Watkins, etc on the roster and Alcantara and Baez coming up soon, I don't think a Barney trade hurts us. He is going to make more than he is worth very soon. I know he is coming off a down season but if the Yankees are as smitten as it sounds like and we can get a decent arm out of it, I don't see why we would say no.

    Rockies sign Boone Logan- 3 years, $16.5 million That's a lot of money for a LOOGY.

    Couldn't they have just paid him a couple grand and paid for his travels at some point in ST to do this? Instead of taking him? I understand it's really not a big deal either way, just don't get why you have to draft him to have him come in and talk. The cost of the pick is reportedly around $12,000, so yeah, that's what they just paid for a possible one-time motivational speaker.

    Phillies sign the artist formerly known as Fausto Carmona to a one year deal. Cubs were in on him and Theo said we had an offer out to one starting pitcher. I wonder if he was it.

    Needed catching depth. Seems like had good numbers in the minors but he's 27 and in AA.

    from Marlins for Bugosevic. Had a down season at the plate but does offer 20-20 potential and is much better against lefties in his career. Decent platoon option in the outfield.

    Also the Yankees turned down a Brandon Phillips for Brett Gardner offer. And we finally made a move!

    Not a rumor, but happening at the Winter Meetings right now:

    They are talking about Lorenzo Cain too, if my source is correct. Samardzija and Barney for Cain, Crow and 2 pitching prospects (no names given to me). I don't mind that deal if those prospects are two of Zimmer, Ventura and Amonte. Louis Coleman is an interesting name too I wouldn't mind swapped in for Crow. Also has one more year of control.

    I have really liked the A's offseason so far. That's a good trade for them. Getting a buy-low in Pomeranz and also getting him from a hitter's park into a pitcher's park.

    This is either false or Towers should be put in a room with padded walls. Cahill AND Skaggs for a guy who hits home runs but does nothing else notable?
  17. Post Count Padder
    Would love some Brett Anderson, at the right price.

    I'm not opposed to Santana on a reasonable one year deal. I want no part of Delmon Young, though. Bad plate patience, terrible in the field and a bad attitude.

    As much as I would do that trade, the Yankees already have an all-glove, no-bat infielder in Brendan Ryan. I don't think they would take essentially the same player and a swingman for their second most valuable player last season. I saw some quote from a scout on MLBTR saying that he thought the best the Yankees could do was a BOR guy for Gardner. I like Gardner, but he's not the second coming of DiMaggio. He's a decent hitter, versatile, and cheap for the next year. As for "their second most valuable player last season", that's not saying a lot with the injuries, suspensions, etc. that happened to the Yankees. That's a fair point. I think they'd probably ask for Olt, and I wouldn't be opposed to Olt and Villanueva for Gardner and someone like Vidal Nuno or Chase Whitley or similarly intriguing pitcher who could be a part of the rotation this coming season. EDIT: Also the Yankees are reportedly shopping Ichiro. I don't want him but thought it should be mentioned. Seems like trading him and cutting Wells would be the obvious choices.

    Well they need a 3B assuming ARod isn't playing and they need pitching. A friend told me he saw someone floating a Gardner and prospects for Samardzija but I'm sure there's no truth to that and as much as I like Gardner, the Yankees' pitching prospects aren't interesting enough that I would do that trade.

    Reportedly turned down better offers to stay in Boston. I think I read that the Sox are now paying more for the three years they initially signed him for after his contract was re-worked last offseason.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Mentioned earlier. I would be interested in seeing what it takes to get him and signing him to a 2-3 year extension.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Yep. I'd actually lean Kemp if we're talking "moves that get GMs fired". David Price for Taijuan +? @DCameronFG1m As @JeffPassan and @RyanDivish note, rumors have been linking Ms to David Price today, and suggest Ms willing to pay crazy price to get him. Sign Cano to crazy contract and trade Walker and others for Price would be pretty insane. I kinda wanna see them pull it off.

    Not a bad deal for Wright, who has been quietly good the past couple years. That makes him, Russell and Rosscup lefties that could make the team next year. Does this mean a Russell trade could happen next week?
